Nixs Poem

Have you ever wondered what the Silver Birch Sings?

The Lady of the Woods, new life she brings

Her vibrations soft and gentle in the twinkling sunshine

Her delicate leaves flutter in the wind, so divine

So many gifts this lady offers us to do

Her spring sap for drinking or using as a shampoo

Her bark for fire tinder, or even a canoe

Or the Birch Polypore as an antiseptic plaster too

The first tree in the Ogham alphabet

She holds magic to be released if you let

Symbolising renewal and purification with a witches broom

And if you are ready, can help attract your bridegroom
